Predicting other vehicles’ behavior
Predicts future risks, to enable saver, smoother automatic driving.
- Predicts the position and trajectory of the other vehicle a few seconds ahead, based on the shape of the intersection and lane information.
- Detects locations where pedestrians might suddenly appear from a blind spot, using only the vehicle’s onboard sensors.
Applications
- Strategic decision making in automatic driving based on risk prediction
- Automatic brakes and other Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS)
- Vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications; e.g., notification of vehicles that present potential risks
- Route planning for transport robots that do not interfere with workers in logistics warehouses
- Other cases of mobile robot control requiring attention to moving objects nearby
Benchmarks, strengths, and track record
- Can be applied to intersections with any shapes, to enable simultaneous predictions of which lane will be used when multiple lanes are available.
- Predicts behavior on any place without preparing high-precision maps in advance.
- Predicts the shape of roads and obstacles using multiple candidates, where blind spots prevent narrowing down to a single candidate.
- Accepted by top international conferences on robots and image processing.
